What Are Pet Wellness Exams?
Through pet exams, our veterinarian can keep track of your pet's health. We recommend you schedule an annual wellness exam for your puppy, kitten, dog, or cat. Senior pets may need to be seen more often due to their delicate health. Quality pet care begins with routine wellness exams.
If you have questions concerning your pet's health, behavior, or veterinary care, this would be a good time to ask. We're more than happy to help you meet your pet care needs.
Importance of Pet Exams
Comprehensive Health Inspection
During a pet exam, our veterinarian will inspect your pet for signs of health issues or disease.
We'll look at his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, check his skin and fur, palpate his abdomen, and examine his joints. We'll also listen to his heart and lungs.
Diagnostic Testing
If we detect abnormalities in any of these areas, we'll order blood, urine, fecal, or skin tests to get an accurate diagnosis.
At this time, we may update your pet's vaccinations, if he is due for a booster, to ensure he's protected against disease. We'll also ensure his parasite and heartworm protection is up to date.
Early Detection
Pet exams give our veterinarian an opportunity to detect health problems in their early stages when they're easiest to treat.
Prompt treatment can help expedite your pet's recovery. It can also prevent minor issues from escalating into major health problems that can cause extensive damage or require lengthy treatment.
Preventive Care
In some cases, our vet can prevent health problems altogether to spare your puppy, kitten, dog, or cat unnecessary pain.
Quality pet care begins with routine wellness exams. We recommend you schedule an annual wellness exam for your puppy, kitten, dog, or cat. Senior pets may need to be seen more often due to their delicate health.
